Fonts - Masthead

First Masthead Draft

Font: Wretched Remains

I first experimented with a rough-looking font that could represent the Grunge of Alternative Rock music, but the Masthead ended up looking messy and rather difficult to read. The text on the left is the entire masthead, while the 'TNV' on the right is it's abbreviated form that will appear on the DPS.



Second Masthead Draft

Font: Straight to Hell

I found a more lean font and changed the Masthead's composition. Instead of the title spanning across the entire page, the words have been shoved to the left side, much like Q, NME and XXL have done. However, I still thought that the font is inappropriate for a Masthead, so I didn't pick this one.



Third Masthead Draft

Fonts: Mortuary and Questa

This font is a lot cleaner than the previous two, and it even has serifs, like the audience preferred. I added the word 'magazine' beneath the title so the overall Masthead could look more professional, and a red border to the abbreviated icon for a similar purpose.
